We started out talking about marriage, living single, sexuality and gender, and are now closing out this teaching on roles and functions. May God help us as we continue to learn and grow at His feet. When God created man, He said that it is not good for man to be alone. He did not discuss it with man. He did not ask man if he wanted another person just like himself. God knew what was best for Adam, and so He made a companion, a woman called Eve. If God wanted men to come together as one flesh, He would have made that option. But He, in His infinite wisdom and sovereignty, He made woman to be a companion and helpmate to man. This birthed the institution of marriage.

Whether you are struggling to find the right husband or wife, whether or not you are struggling with wanting to have a same sex relationship, or whether you have overcome the battle and are married, but are having functional issues, they are all warrings that emanate from the enemy. Those struggles are there because there is someone who does not want you to enjoy the fullness of the purpose of creation. Please contact your local Pastor for counseling or send an email to contact@eteachit.com, and you can get connected to someone who can counsel and pray through with you.

We all come from different cultures of the world and the international community spends millions of dollars every year trying to make sure that development plans are gender sensitive. But God outlined a gender plan that is perfect. He instructed men on how to sacrificially love their wives and instructed women on how to respect and submit to the authority of their husbands. If we followed that and raised our children to understand that, what a wonderful place the world would be. Men would not do anything to hurt their wives and would even listen to them as a sacrifice for the love that they have for them. Mutual respect, love and sacrifice would breed peace.

May God bless each and every one of us and give us the grace to be the woman, man, boy or girl that He has created us to be. Blessings with peace.
